Canada Rail Vacations is introducing a rare travel opportunity for those seeking an unforgettable journey through the Canadian Rockies. The new Passage to the Peaks route combines the best travel day of the First Passage to the West with the most celebrated day of the Journey Through the Clouds. This two-day experience will run for a limited time—only between June and July 2026—offering travelers an exclusive way to experience the region’s dramatic landscapes, glacier-carved valleys, and towering summits from aboard a luxury rail coach.
This special routing showcases the craftsmanship and expertise behind Canada Rail Vacations, a company known for creating fully independent Canadian rail packages that celebrate the country’s natural beauty. By selecting the most picturesque travel days from two major Rocky Mountaineer itineraries, the company has crafted a rare, condensed experience that reflects its ability to pair luxury rail travel with some of the Rockies’ most unforgettable sights. Guests will enjoy panoramic views, chef-prepared meals, and the comfort of spacious seating while the train winds through mountain passes, sweeping valleys, and turquoise river corridors.
Travelers who have experienced the Banff to Jasper train or the Jasper to Banff train will immediately recognize the distinct advantage of this limited-time itinerary. It compresses the top highlights of both directions into a seamless two-day adventure. This new offering appeals to those seeking a shorter but equally powerful immersion into the heart of the Rockies. With its carefully timed approach, guests will witness some of the most dramatic stretches of the rail journey—rugged peaks, deep canyons, wildlife-rich forests, and the unforgettable views of Mount Robson, the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies.
The new route captures the spirit of Western Canada’s landscapes. On the first day, travelers will enjoy sweeping views of the Continental Divide, historic rail tunnels, and shimmering lakes framed by dense evergreen forests. The second day will highlight the waterfalls, limestone cliffs, and glacier-fed rivers that define the Journey Through the Clouds experience. Each mile reveals another striking view, elevating the sense of adventure and tranquility that rail travel is known for.
Canada Rail Vacations provides more than scenic train journeys. The company offers thoughtfully crafted travel packages throughout Western and Eastern Canada, featuring destinations such as Vancouver, Victoria, Whistler, Banff, Lake Louise, Jasper, Calgary, Toronto, Ottawa, Montréal, Québec City, and Halifax. Its itineraries combine hotel stays, sightseeing tours, local transportation, and immersive activities—each built to help travelers experience Canada’s natural wonders and cultural landmarks.
This new Passage to the Peaks route reflects Canada Rail Vacations’ ability to innovate while staying true to its core mission of showcasing Canada’s landscapes in a meaningful and comfortable way. Rail enthusiasts, nature lovers, and international travelers will find this limited-time routing a rare opportunity to enjoy the Rockies at their finest.
